In a landmark feat of genetic engineering, researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge have ...

Some have even received Nobel prizes for putting themselves under the microscope. But with the advances in genetic engineering, none have altered their own DNA, in the name of science, until now.

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to ...

Meanwhile, although synthetic biology is most closely associated with genetic engineering, the concept of harnessing organisms for specific purposes doesn’t have to mean manipulating DNA.

I expect that human genetic engineering, both therapeutic and “vanity” applications, will become an unfathomably profitable industry in the coming decades.

While there is controversy over genetic engineering, some scientists say it could also help fight climate change by creating trees that grow bigger, faster, resist disease and can even turn carbon ...

Both techniques are very different to conventional genetic engineering methods – such as biolistics (which is done by firing genes into plant tissue) or delivering genes using infectious bacteria.

Genetic engineering attribution is still a new field. With more effort, it’ll likely be possible to one day make attribution possible on a much larger scale and to do it for viruses and bacteria.

The genetic engineering behind pig-to-human transplants A paper on a transplant to a brain-dead recipient provides details on the donor. John Timmer – Jan 20, 2022 1:46 PM | 79 ...

Researchers have discovered a pair of proteins that block the CRISPR-Cas9 system that has revolutionized the field of genetic engineering. Their discovery allows research and applications ...
